I'll buy your electronics to feed our robot

We’re building a robotics system that recovers reusable electronic components from retired hardware. To run experiments we’re looking to buy electronics that are *retired or obsolete but still contain valuable components*.

Examples:

* servers, networking gear, routers, switches * laptops / workstations * telecom / industrial / embedded boards * lab equipment electronics * obsolete or end-of-life hardware with populated PCBs

We’re especially interested in hardware that *is no longer useful as a system but still has valuable chips or components on the boards*.

Typical pricing depends on the hardware, but we often pay *$20–$200+ per unit* for things like servers, networking gear, or laptops depending on what’s inside. Happy to buy bulk lots.

Based in the Bay Area; we can arrange pickup locally or pallet shipping within the US.

If you run ITAD, recycling, refurbishment, repair, or have retired hardware sitting around, email:

Even rough descriptions like “a pallet of old switches” are helpful.

This is really cool. In the demo, how do they just yank the chip off the board? I'd have assumed it would be somehow soldered on or something.

Awesome concept !

Is it only in the USA?
